The paradise island city-building game Tropico 3 from developer Haemimont Games will be hitting 360s in the US on February 16th.
For the unfamiliar Tropico 3 is a city-management game that puts the player in the role of "El Presidente." El Presidente is the newly elected leader of a tropical island that is strategically important to the USSR and USA during the Cold War. He will have to balance his relationship with both of the super powerful nations, while maintaining his own economy. If the island becomes too capitalistic and touristy, then the USSR will launch an attack. On the other hand, if El Presidente turns into a commie, then the USA will cut off aid.
